Abstract — A new driving circuit for scan electrode in AC
PDP was proposed. There are 2 switches per pixel line in
current scan driver topology, but the number of scan driver
switches can be reduced to one per pixel line with the new
scan driver structure using the capacitance between adjacent
electrodes. The analysis on the robustness of the proposed
circuit was carried out together with the practical driving test.
We have succeeded in making 64×128 pixel driving circuit,
and the performance of the new scan electrode driving circuit
was observed. The design outline was presented to which the
new scan driver structure is applicable. And the performance
change of the proposed scan electrode driving circuit was
discussed1
